A masterclass in translucent freshness, this is one of the most meditative and quietly beautiful citrus perfumes ever made. If you crave subtlety and zen clarity, few fragrances rival its sheer, garden-inspired serenity.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Its luminous citrus and green facets make it ideal for spring and summer, offering a cooling, breezy sensation. The scent is too light and sheer for winter, while fall wear works only in warmer climates or indoors.
Best Occasions
The quiet projection and clean, fresh character make it perfect for office and casual settings, as well as post-sport refreshment. Its subtlety is less suited for formal events but works well for understated daytime dates.
